Flora & Fauna


An enormous family of locusts, feeding in order to grow and take flight. Tarumã, near Manaus, Amazonas - Brazil.	With high humidity and temperatures in the tropical rain forest, decomposition of organica matter happens at an accelerated rate, and within days, a fallen tree-trunk can be covered in mushrooms. Tarumã, near Manaus, Amazonas - Brazil.	An older parrot: his beak indicates that it has been well used! Tarumã, near Manaus, Amazonas - Brazil.	Delicate beauty of an orchid. This orchod grows all over the country, needing only a little sun and humidity. Even though its origins are not from the americas, it adapted extremely well to the climate of the Amazon region.	A bromelia, in its natural habitat: on a tree trunk, searching for light and humidity. Presidente Figueredo, Amazonas - Brazil.

Light at the end of the day, iluminating the young trees. Presidente Figueredo, Amazonas - Brazil.	Beautiful flower of a bromelia, high in the branches of the jungle near Km 130 on the BR-174, in the state of Amazonas - Brazil.	All it takes is humidity, indirect light and some branches to make bromelia feel "at home": that can be on the ground, in branches, or high up in the tree tops. Near Km 130 on the BR-174, in Amazonas - Brazil.	Even on the vertical, bromelias have no problems clinging on to the tree trunks. Near Km 130 on the BR-174, in Amazonas - Brazil.

Moss on a stone. All it takes is a little dell, and new life is springing up. That is life's cycle in the Amazon Rainforest. Near Km 130 on the BR-174, in Amazonas - Brazil.	Guarana Plantation in Amazonas - Brazil. Native fruit of the state, and used since centuries by the amerindians as a stimulant and revigorating dietary supplement.	The Guarana bush with a bunch of berries: some ripening, and others already ripe and showing the seed. Amazonas - Brazil.	The Guarana berry leaves some people feeling uncanny, as they look like eyes when ripe, due to the white membrane that does not entirely cover the black seeds when the berry is ripe. A bunch of eyes, staring every-which-way! Amazonas, Brazil.	Bromelia growing on the ground. Near Km 130 on the BR-174, in Amazonas - Brazil.
